If You Were
If you were a place you would be my heaven
A vision beyond peace beyond all everything
If you were a song you would sound like morning
As the birds start singing and the day is born
If I were a tree, I would protect you through all seasons
With my outstretched arms and my big soft leaves
If I were a book my title would be you
everytime I was picked up my words would all be new
If you were a thought you would be on my mind always
because nothing else compare's to you i know
If you were a sound ,i would play you back so many times
you would swear that the words come from my soul
If i were your shadow I would follow you in the sun
And go inside you in the cold
If you were a fragrance I would sprinkle you
behind each ear so everytime i took a breath
I could smell you from within
If we were to never see each others smiles
or touch each others skin
I want you to know
I would'nt pass up a chance
To do this all over again...
